I have horrid knees, and I am having a knee replacement on Monday. I am just too freaking young to use a walker, but if you fall and break off the implant within the first few weeks of surgery, it can lead to catastrophic problems. So, I am grudgingly obeying orders and using the darned walker.
However, if I'm forced to use one, it has to have a certain je ne sais quoi and a certain level of pizazz. Of course, it also has to have some sci-fi stuff since, well, I'm a geek. So, there are a few Star Trek nacelle pictures taped on the side. There are assorted flag and space stickers and a red, white, and blue star garland wrapped around the bars because my kids deemed this A Good Thing. I picked up the Kamelot banner at their Baltimore concert stop a few weeks back. I have a bling cell phone case to hold my phone and a few basics. Yes, that's a Yoda Pez dispenser taped on it, and it is filled up with cherry vanilla Pez. :D
Oh--if I sound a little weird online late next week, it's because I'll be taking heavy painkillers for awhile. If I suddenly stop in the middle of what I'm doing, it's likely I fell asleep at the keyboard. If I don't answer, just let the baddies beat on me, and when I wake up, I'll map back to someplace safe. :)
So here's the side view of the walker. The sign says "They made me use this walker otherwise I'd destroy everything with my titanium knees."
Here's the Kam-tastic one:
